A special closed session meeting of the Ojai Unified School District Board of Governors has been called for 8:15 p.m. on Wednesday, May 6, to discuss anticipated litigation.

The meeting will be held via teleconference due to COVID-19 physical-distancing requirements.

The board was already scheduled to meet on May 6 at 5 p.m., and that meeting will commence as planned.

A special meeting can only be called if there is 24-hour notice of the meeting, according to the state’s open-meeting laws.

Wednesday’s special meeting is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. and the agenda was sent out at 8:14 p.m. Tuesday — 23 hours and 59 minutes before the start of Wednesday’s meeting — which may explain the unusually late hour for the special meeting.

The other agenda item is a contract with Sage Realty for property consulting and brokering services related to the lease of the district office. That agenda item has been postponed at the previous two school board meetings.
